How it works

Pull Request Reviews

Users install the CodeRabbit application on their Git platform (GitHub, GitLab, or Azure DevOps). When a pull request is created, CodeRabbit automatically analyzes the code changes, provides line-by-line feedback, and posts a comprehensive review with suggestions and identified issues.

IDE-Based Reviews

Developers can use CodeRabbit directly within their IDE (VS Code and compatible editors) to get instant feedback on their code before committing changes. This allows for real-time code quality assessment during development.

Agentic Chat Workflows

Users can engage in conversational AI interactions within pull requests to ask questions, generate code, create unit tests, resolve feedback, or perform multi-step tasks. The system learns from these interactions to improve future suggestions.

Automated Reporting

The system automatically generates various reports including release notes, standup summaries, and sprint reviews based on code changes and pull request activity.
